eric cantor, who controls the floor schedule in the house, has decided to forego legislating in favor of politicking full time. despite all the major challenges that this congress faces, despite the crisis of confidence that may hit our markets in the fall due to uncertainty over the looming fiscal cliff, eric cantor has declared a moratorium on any serious legislating until after the fall elections. the house of representatives is like a computer that has been turned on sleep mode and it doesn't plan to be rebooted until after november. this is a breathtaking admission by the number 2 republican in the house. i wouldn't be surprised if leader cantor wishes he could take his statement back. it contradicts the rhetoric from many on his own side. just last month in a speech at the peterson institute, the speaker of the house made a great show of calling on the administration and congress to tackle tax cuts and the debt ceiling now, before the electi election. here's what speaker boehner sa said. "it's about time we roll up our sleeves and get to work." unfortunately, leader cantor's com
